Default De Badging

Looking into de badging my crew cab Z71. I know there are many ways to do this. I was looking for a cheap and effective way to do it. As well as if anyone knows any cheap mods to complete that won't punish the wallet.

Fishin string and an eraser wheel on a drill is cheap. Fishin string to run behind the molding/badgin then the eraser wheel to get all the crap off. Then goo gone and some elbow grease

I tried fishing line and it didn't work well for me, so I ended up using a plastic Bondo spreader slid behind the badge and used it as a chisel/knife to cut through the tape using a heat gun to soften it up. Apply a little heat to the badge and slide the scraper in behind and get to work. Follow that up with an eraser wheel, a little Goo Gone and some cleaner wax.
